Under Dr. Ali's persuasion, Xiaolan reluctantly agreed to take the two children home to discuss with her father.
On the way back, Xiaolan held a child in each hand.
"By the way, Conan." Xiaolan said suddenly.
Conan was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was him who called him, and quickly replied: "Ah, what's the matter?"
"I heard from Dr. Ali that your parents and Xiaoyou's parents are very good friends. Did you grow up together?" Xiaolan asked.
Conan: "Yeah."
Lan Zeyou: "No."
After receiving two completely opposite answers, Xiaolan smiled and said, "Did you have a quarrel?"
"Haha... that's right." Conan smiled awkwardly, winked secretly at Aizawa Yu, and made an excuse: "I just accidentally broke Aizawa's cup. He is now Still angry with me.”
Lan Zeyou had a cold face. What a terrible reason. How could he be affected by a cup?
"Then Conan should apologize to Xiaoyou properly. Friendships from childhood to adulthood can last for a long time."
Xiaolan raised her head slightly, revealing a hint of imperceptible tenderness in her eyes: "I also have a friend who I grew up with. He is a person I like very much."
…
Mingzeye took off the headphones hidden in his hair and stopped monitoring Xiaolan and their meaningless conversations.
He controlled the two computers in front of him with both hands, and his fingers were tapping the keyboard so fast that only afterimages could be seen.
Ming Zeye paused with his left hand. He took the time to look down at the puppet string protruding from the sleeves and ignored it.
The puppet string moved again, and seeing that Ming Zeye still ignored it, it slowly extended from Ming Zeye's wrist.
Ming Zeye continued to type on the keyboard without paying attention. The puppet line had a certain spirituality and could extend its length indefinitely if the energy was sufficient.
With Ming Zeye's consent, it would occasionally go out for a walk, but would not go too far.
After Ming Zeye entered Kudo Shinichi's information on the computer on his right, he opened the flat map. Two small green dots close to each other in a circled area on the map moved slowly.
There are currently no problems with Conan's positioning.
Then Ming Zeye turned his attention to the computer on the left. He slid the mouse and quickly browsed the information of people who had been around Conan for a long time.
When he saw Mouri Kogoro's information, his fingers paused and did not slide any further.
According to the information, Mouri Kogoro was once a criminal police officer. He served in the Fire Section 2 and Search Section 1 of the Metropolitan Police Department. Later, due to unknown reasons, he resigned and opened a detective agency.
Ming Zeye's eyes flashed. He had only watched two episodes of "Ming Ke". The impression that Kogoro Mouri gave him was that he was a buffoon used to set off the protagonist. He did not expect that he was once a detective.
Maybe he's not as simple as he seems.
Then Ming Zeye took out his mobile phone and sent an email to Nagasawa Balioko.
[Send me the details of Kogoro Mori. 】
Nagasawa Yalioko quickly responded.
[That confused detective? What's wrong with him? ——Belial】
【You know him? 】
[I have met all the detectives here in Tokyo, and they always know some interesting little secrets. ——Belial】
"Pap, tap..."
There was a sudden sound of glass breaking, and the strong aroma of wine instantly filled the entire room.
Ming Zeye turned his head and glanced at the broken wine bottles on the ground, his eyes locked on the culprit with cold eyes.
Shi Jiu looked at the scene in front of him with a dazed expression, his body still maintaining a hunting posture, lying on the fallen wine rack, his claws covering a black thread.
A black stream of light suddenly flashed.
The puppet string instantly broke free from Shi Jiu's claws and retracted to Mingzeye's wrist. At the same time, he pulled Mingzeye's sleeves to cover his entire coil, pretending that he had never appeared.
Shi Jiu looked in the direction where the puppet line disappeared, and when he turned his head, he met Ming Zeye's eyes. It blinked, and suddenly felt that it might not survive tonight.
Shi Jiu couldn't help grinding his teeth. This unfaithful and black-hearted thread ran so fast. He did bad things and even left it alone to face its owner. If he had known better, he wouldn't have played with it.
Under Ming Zeye's gaze, Shi Jiu disappeared in a swish. When he came back with a broom in his mouth, he put down the broom and said flatteringly: "Meow~ Master, don't be angry, I'll clean it up right away."
Anyway, the owner is not short of money, so he will definitely not care about the wine. As long as he cleans it up immediately, he will definitely not blame it.
"You are not allowed to play computer games within a month." Ming Zeye glanced at the original location of the wine rack and added: "You are not allowed to go through the wall at home, just walk through the door honestly."
When Shi Jiu heard that he couldn't touch the computer, he felt like he was struck by lightning, and his life was full of gloom.
In Ming Zeye's eyes, Shi Jiu's entire cat turned gray. Several lightning bolts with their own sound effects suddenly appeared and struck at it, causing Shi Jiu to split instantly.
Ming Zeye stood up and curiously stretched out his hand to touch the thunder and lightning that appeared above Shi Jiu's head, but he didn't touch anything.
Shi Jiu looked up at Ming Zeye in confusion.
Ming Zeye patted Shi Jiu's head and said, "It's time for you to quit your Internet addiction."
Shi Jiu curled his lips and muttered: "I'm not a human being."
Ming Zeye raised his left hand and controlled the puppet's thread to roll into a "ball of wool".
Then he tore off a small piece of puppet string, threw the "ball of wool" to Shi Jiu, and said, "It's for you to play with for a day."
Shi Jiu's eyes lit up and he instantly became energetic. He jumped up and caught the "ball of wool".
"Meow~ Then I'll give up my Internet addiction for one day." Shi Jiu snorted, the little thing fell into its hands.
Ming Zeye suddenly remembered that the zoo convenes internal members for a video conference every three months. It has been exactly three months since the last meeting.
There is no requirement to participate in the video conference, as long as you ask for leave in advance, so there are less than ten people present in each meeting, and almost all of them are different people every time.
A meeting with such relaxed conditions was like a message specially delivered to his door. He highly suspected that this was a meeting used by the adult to exclude undercover agents.
Apart from going to Mingzeye a few times at the beginning, I have almost never been there since.
Ming Zeye closed the computer, took off his casual clothes, and put on a black shirt and a white windbreaker.
Then he took out the disguise mask and put it on, glanced at Shi Jiu who was playing with the puppet strings, and warned: "If you don't clean it up before I come back, it will play with you."
Shi Jiu stood up with the ball of thread in his mouth, gave a military salute, and replied with a serious expression: "Guaranteed to complete the mission!" It would not give the puppet thread this chance.
…
London, England.
In an old European-style villa on the edge of the city, there is a big tree covered with sunny dolls with blood-red eyes.
A breeze blew by, causing the Sunny Doll on the tree to sway, and a silver-haired man appeared under the tree out of thin air.
Ming Zeye raised his head and glanced at the sunny doll on the tree, then came to the garage, drove the car and left the villa.
An hour later, the car stopped near a research institute.
Ming Zeye opened the car door and walked into the research institute.
When Ming Zeye passed a laboratory, he met a middle-aged man wearing a single-sided glasses.
The middle-aged man adjusted his glasses and said slowly: "It's Cat. It's rare to see you here. It just so happened that the boss asked me to prepare a weapon specially developed for you. Do you want to try it?"
"Oh?" Ming Zeye raised his eyebrows and said casually, "Then let's try it again after I finish the meeting."
"You can participate in video conferences at home, why do you have to come to my place every time."
